A/N Ok this was inspired when I was watching one of my (many) favorite shows. The show had two charcters with one looking after the other so this idea kinda came from there…. I thought about it and felt that it's worth a try. Enjoy!

Ch 10

LH and Mikey

"Michelangelo"

Hey… who's calling me?

"Michelangelo"

The orange clad turtle tried to move, but everything hurt to much. He couldn't open his eyes or even muster enough energy to answer to whoever was calling him. Then he felt a large claw-like hand rest on his shoulder and shake him.

"Michelangelo, are you alright my friend?"

After several shakes Mikey finally managed to open his eyes and see a large tail resting near him. His eyes shifted upward a little more to see who the voice and tail belonged to

"Leatherhead?"

The alligator gave the teen a toothy smile as he helped him sit up.

"where are we?"

"You do not remember the attack?"

"No"

"We are deep in a Kraang facility and we were attacked by many Kraang-"

"Are you hurt?!"

"My friend, you sustained more injuries than I did"

Slowly nodding Mikey and trying to sit up. Mikey stared blurry-eyed at Leatherhead

"Duuuddee…. That bites"

The alligator sat Mikey up and checked over the quiet turtle for injuries, he still had those sprains in his wrists and a bruise on the back of his head.

"Do you feel any dizziness?"

"N-no"

Leatherhead didn't like the way Mikey sounded nor at the fact that his eye lids were already starting to droop

"Can you walk"

"I can try"

The ninja turtle yelped as he put pressure on his left ankle

"Guess that's a no then..."

Leatherhead sighed and lifted Michelangleo up and put him on his back. Then made sure the coast was clear before walking into a dark corridor.

"Hey… Leatherhead? Are my brothers here?"

"Not that I know of my friend, I just found you all by yourself"

"Where are we? In the city I mean"

"We are a quarter of a mile away from the TCRI building"

The two walked for a while before Mikey slipped off Leatherhead's back and stumbled into an empty room just in time to vomit

"Eeewww… I just spewed my guts out…"

"It is as I feared.."

"What?"

"This atmosphere in this underground building is slowly developing into Kraang atmosphere"

"So.. it's hard to breathe?"

"Partly I have managed to get past the tough atmosphere and survive in these conditions, are you having difficulty breathing?"

"Only a little, but I don't think I'll pass out or anything…"

Leatherhead shook his head before resting a claw on Mikey's forehead, Mikey was getting sick. He remembered when Michelangelo showed him kindness when he needed to be cared for now it was his turn to watch over his little turtle friend. He lifted Mikey onto his back once again then walking among more corridors.

Leatherhead stopped at a large door, he could hear Kraang droids behind that door.

"This is the only way back to the surface"

Mikey shifted on Leatherhead's back

"so what are we going to do dude?"

Leatherhead sat Michelangelo down next to the large door

"I'll take care of the Kraang-"

"Be careful, ok?"

Leatherhead tore open the doors and roared in rage as the Kraang began to fire. Leatherhead didn't remember much after that only that all the Kraang had abandoned their positions and stations in the building and fled

"Leatherhead? You ok?"

Leatherhead turned around to see Mikey barely standing at the trashed doorway

"Michelangelo-"

"I'm ok but I don't feel very good…"

Sirens wailed in the background probably the authorities investigating the empty facility

Picking up Mikey once again, Leatherhead looked for a passage the Kraang often used to leave the warehouse and found himself in the sewers

"Michelangelo? Can you find the way to your home from here?"

Looking around Mikey nodded

"turn left here"

After almost half an hour of directions Leatherhead found himself at the entrance of the turtles' lair

The lair was empty and quiet.

Leatherhead made his way to the lair and found Master Splinter and his sons sitting in the dojo with their eyes closed. Leatherhead walked over to the nearest turtle, Donatello, and gave him a gentle shake

Donatello opened his eyes to see Leatherhead and immediately scrambled behind Leo knocking Raph on his side in the process

"Aaahh! Not the face! Not the face!"

"Donnie! What the shell?"

Master Splinter and Leonardo turned to see Mikey on the alligator's back.

"Michelangelo!"

"Mikey!"

The blue masked turtle slid Mikey off Leatherhead's back and put an arm over his shoulder

"Are you hurt?"

"A little but I don't feel very good"

The two other turtles walked over to Mikey and all three turtles squeezed Mikey in a massive hug just happy that their youngest brother was home safe.

"Leatherhead? You brought Mikey home…?

"Yes, he was injured in a fight with the Kraang"

"Where?"

Donatello went into 'Doctor' mode and started pestering Mikey over injuries and hovering over the orange masked turtle despite his protests

"Leatherhead, you can for the night if you want."

"In would be the least we can do after you saved Mikey"

Leatherhead smiled and layed down in the living room. Falling asleep to the sounds of a family, that was now whole again, wishing he could have his own

A/N Ok, what did you guys think? Let me know and I'll try to update soon!
